I just returned from a one-night stay in Lexington, Kentucky. Flying out at sunrise in Joplin, Missouri, this flight was uniquely without cloud cover for its entirety. Soaring over the snow-blanketed fields and small towns gave passengers a different view of the earth. Approaching Chicago for a short layover was interesting as we flew out over the frigid edge of Lake Michigan on our approach to the runway at O'Hare.
Also unique to this flight was the fact that we arrived a full 45 minutes earlier than schedule. I had been concerned that my layover was too short. If anything delayed this first flight, I would miss my connection to Lexington. As it was, there were no delays and I had plenty of time to relax before jumping onto the next plane.
Things were strangely familiar to me as this was my third time in this portion of the airport in just a short time. I felt like a frequent flyer for the first time in my life. Now I was on my way to my first in-person Gilder Lehrman event as a presenter of professional development for educators.
